*1 The number of inquiries includes the number of cases where the insurance companies received requests for damage investigation, inquiries about earthquake insurance coverage, and requests for advice on the policyholder's contract.

*2 The number of settled cases includes both the number of cases where claim payments were or were not made as a result of an actual investigation and cases that were settled when the insurance companies simply received requests for damage investigation.
